The Fully Midi Skirt #restyled

Hey lovelies!
Just a quick outfit post showing how I restyled my black full midi skirt from www.choies.com
This time, I paired it up with a jacquard and leather dress, which I decided to wear as a top. I love the print on the dress, and also the leather back detail... it really complimented the skirt! For my shoes, I wore my one of my favourite old pairs from Scooter and decided on no accessories.

Animal Print & Metallics

Hey guys,
I've got something a little different for you in this post... a casual outfit! Yes! I know!! lol. I wore this to accompany my bother as he went shopping at his favourite store... the PUMA store! 
Actually this is how I mostly dress during the week...comfortable, but still try and keep it chic and cute. 
So I created this look around the metallic brogues that my bff got me for my birthday. I love menswear inspired pieces, especially brogues and oxfords...throw on a blazer and thats usually me Monday to Friday. I decided to pair the shoes with my new favourite skinny jeans and a leopard print shirt. Threw on a fedora, some gold chains and my tortoise shell sunglasses, and it pretty much completed the look.

The Little Black Dress

The little black dress... a staple piece in every woman's closet.T hey come in different styles, lengths, cuts, and no matter your size, you can find one that will flatter your body shape.
I love this ASOS one for the fact that it's midi length, a turtle neck, and also a bodycon dress, and it definitely shows off your silhouette! 
I also decided to add a bold, beaded, Cleopatra inspired statement necklace to add some pizazz to the outfit. Kept my shoes simple with my black and gold heeled sandals, and finally got an opportunity to wear my ankara chain link bag which I got in Ghana. It was the perfect compliment to the look.

Leather Jogging Pants & Tuxedo Blazer

I've been wanting to wear these leather jogging pants since my BFF got them for me last year, but when I got them, it was summer time here in Australia, so I had to wait until winter. I wasn't sure how I was going to put the look together, but I did know I wanted to pair it with one of my Charlotte Russe open-toe, lace up booties! Eventually, I decided on a black and white monochrome look with a tuxedo blazer, and I love how the look came together!

Ankara Midi Skater Skirt

Hey guys! 
In this post I'm wearing my ankara print midi skirt (restyled), which was sent to me last year by Afrik Inspired to review. I previously wore this skirt in a casual look. This time though, I decided to dress it up a little with this olive green turtle neck, black and gold pointed pumps and a gold plated belt. And honestly, you can't go wrong with ankara print!
